“…Dangelico et al () identify the acquisition of expertise, networks of collaborations and external knowledge links as important in GPI. Segarra‐Ona et al () show that firms that see market information from suppliers, clients, competitors and external consultants as important in the process of innovation and development of new products are also more environmentally oriented. Moreover, firms that collaborate with other organizations are more likely to overcome competence lock‐in during radical green innovation (Chadha, ).…”

Collaboration in green product innovation (GPI) is becoming increasingly important, and research on such innovation has grown in recent years. This study reviews literature on external collaborations in GPI to investigate drivers, inter‐organizational factors and intra‐organizational factors for such collaborations. The review includes a total of 67 papers. Survey studies and case studies are the methodologies applied most in the reviewed papers. The most common collaborators are suppliers and customers. Drivers include economic factors, regulations, customer demand, competitiveness and firm performance. Numerous inter‐organizational collaboration factors are presented and summarized in terms of partner selection, relationship management, knowledge access and agreements. Intra‐organizational factors mainly concern cross‐functional collaboration, capabilities and internal practices. Implications for policy and practitioners are presented.

“…Firms collaborate with suppliers and customers in GPI as a way to overcome competence lock‐in within the firm (Chadha, ). However, other collaboration partners also contribute to GPI, such as universities, research organizations, competitors and consultants (Conway and Steward, ; Dangelico et al ., ; Segarra‐Oña et al ., ).…”

“…However, a contrasting study shows that collaboration in GPI is not important to firms' innovations (Cuerva et al ., ). Most studies point to the importance of collaborating in GPI (Horbach, ; Wu, ; Segarra‐Oña et al ., ; Dangelico, ; Melander, ). It is argued that collaboration is an essential driver for GPI (Triguero et al ., ).…”

Customer and Supplier Collaboration in Green Product Innovation: External and Internal Capabilities

Firms collaborate in green product innovation to develop products with less environmental impact. These products typically use less energy, have lower emissions and incorporate more environmentally friendly materials. In an industrial setting, firms often collaborate along the supply chain with customers and suppliers. This paper focuses on external and internal capabilities that firms need when collaborating in green product innovation. The paper builds on data from five large industrial firms in ten case studies, in which these firms collaborate with customers and suppliers to innovate green products to an industrial market. External and internal capabilities are investigated. The study points to the importance of finding a suitable partner. Partners need to have environmental expertise and contribute knowledge or technology that is new to the firm. Firms need to combine relational capabilities, such as trust, with contractual agreements in collaborative innovations. The findings point to the importance of knowledge management with the partner as well as internally in the firm. The study shows that no partner collaboration operates in isolation but is situated in a network context. Copyright © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment

“…For example, Díaz‐García, González‐Moreno, and Sáez‐Martínez () identified the need to adopt a longitudinal approach by identifying drivers that influence the further growth and development of eco‐innovative firms. For the automobile industry, process and product innovation and closeness to market information sources were identified as variables influencing companies' eco‐innovation orientation (Peiró‐Signes, Payá‐Martínez, & de Miguel‐Molina, ; Segarra‐Oña, Peiró‐Signes, & Payá‐Martínez, ).…”

The environment is increasingly gaining importance for citizens and society and, therefore, for consumers. Eco‐innovation is a direct path for reducing the impact of production while providing companies with a source of competitive advantage. The automotive industry and its supply chain have a great impact on the environment, but no research has been developed on how the orientation toward the environment is evolving for the automotive industry and how future performance may be affected by current decisions. The aim of this paper is to bridge this gap by analyzing the eco‐innovative dynamism of the automobile industry. To do this, we use a panel analysis to see the point at which past behavior influences future decisions. The partial least square method is used to analyze the eco‐innovative dynamism of the automobile industry. We analyze a data set based on 159 responses of Spanish companies that belong to the automobile sector. Results show that environmental orientation drivers do not evolve over a short period while in the longer term there is an evolution. We prove that carryover effects have a great impact on the future behavior of the firms, showing that the evolution of organizations' environmental behavior is a long‐range consideration. Managerial implications arise from this paper's conclusions, as the decision‐making process is clarified.
